A fairy tale castle, ivy clad ruined walls, medieval moat complete with majestic swans and a twin towered Gatehouse entrance all await for your perfect day. The ideal backdrop for all of your photographs. Whittington Castle is committed to providing a first class service to all those wishing to book a civil ceremony. With this in mind we will only ever book one ceremony per day in order to give our full attention to all those who book with us.
The Lady Eleanor Function Room is situated in the South tower and for many centuries this served as the manor courthouse. The room is named after Lady Eleanor who helped to turn the castle into a more comfortable home in the 14th century.
The Castle prides itself on its small and friendly approach and can provide a one to one service designed for the individual couple in mind. Providing a historic and elegant venue for smaller, more intimate ceremonies. The Castle is available for Civil Weddings and Civil Partnership, Re-affirmation of marriage vows as well as Naming Ceremonies.
The Lady Eleanor Room is licensed to hold ceremonies for 40 people. 4 places from this number are reserved for the Superintendent Registrar and Registrar, for a member of the public (who may wish to have access to the ceremony) and for the castle Duty Officer. This therefore reduces numbers to a maximum 36 to include the couple. Small children and babies seated on parent’s knees are not included in this number and can be extra.
